    spread a laughing cow cheese wedge on a 6" corn tortilla and roll it up. 85 calories.

    My go-tos are pickles, carrot sticks, tea, chicken broth & popcorn.

    But sometimes hunger just comes with the territory. You shouldn't feel starving but being hungry every once in a while really isn't a big deal.

    Zoodles (zucchini noodles) are surprisingly filling. I thought I would need a giant plate, but with the right sauce and add-ins, I love them!

    When I reach my calorie goal and I'm hungry, I take a drink of water & go to bed. Knowing I can eat tomorrow. Alot of weight loss takes place in your head, you have to be ready to work hard & eat right and be determined. In a few months and a few pounds later you will be happy you stuck to your guns!

    People like to dog on cauliflower, but I've made some frickin' amazing garlic mashed "potatoes" that were pretty low cal and made a killer side dish to brussels sprouts and chicken breast.

    I have been eating tofu noodles with two tablespoons of President brand pub cheese. It's like eating a whole bowl of pasta but it's only 78 calories. Friend me and you can see my diary. :)

    Spaghetti squash, roasted broccoli (IDK why it seems more filling roasted, but it does to me, even with no fat), cottage cheese, boiled eggs, fish

    Another vote for popcorn. I eat it 4-5 times a week.
    Also, Special K makes several varieties of "cracker chips" that are great with Picante sauce. Depending on the variety (my favorite is sour cream & onion), about 4.4 calories per chip and the hot sauce is only like 5 or 10 per tablespoon.

    Oh yeah, I give that a vote too. I love mashed cauliflower. Mashed turnips are also good and low calorie.

    Me too, it's so hard! I'm having trouble with the hunger pangs, especially in the evenings. I've been trying to eat bulky low calorie foods like veggies but my body isn't being tricked right now. I think we'll definitely have ups and downs on this journey - happy to be support buddies :)

    Another vote for popcorn here. I like adding nutritional yeast for flavour and added protein.

    Veggies are also good, but sometimes raw veggies make me more hungry (what?! I know). Eating them with hummus / high protein pitas helps. In fact, adding veggies to beans or even pasta helps create a satisfying meal while cutting the cals.

    Drinking liquids while eating is a great tip, I like to try a break mid-dinner to drink a glass of water or tea. I think room temp is better for your digestion (at least in my case).
    I'm like this too. Eating raw carrots solo makes me more hungry. Combine with hummus though and I'm good to go

    Awesome! I think it must be the protein that works for us :smile: .

    A can of tuna fish always does it for me. About 100 calorie. Lots of protein

    Like mashed chickpeas with sesame, olive oil and usually a dash of lemon and garlic. It really doesn't taste like any other food that I've tried. But it is delicious.

    egg white omelets! You can make a huge omelet or scramble, and even with veggies, some cheese, etc, it's a ton of food for little calories

    All the suggestion's of foods is so not the food's I am used to eating! Ha! But I guess if I truly want to do this diet I am gonna have to change the thing's I eat. I like trying new thing's though and as I get older I do start like other thing's now then I use to when younger. Thanks for all the type's and suggestion's! Make's me feel better and stronger that I can do this. If any one else comes up with any other suggestion's I am glad to hear it!
